SCRIPTURES:

January 21, 2018– 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time First Reading: JONAH SET OUT FOR NINEVAH AS GOD ASKED AND

TOLD THE PEOPLE THAT THEIR CITY WOULD BE DESTROYED IN FORTY

DAYS. THE PEOPLE BELIEVED HIM AND REPENTED FROM THEIR EVIL

WAYS. GOD DID NOT DESTROY THEIR CITY, SHOWING HIS MERCY FOR

THOSE WHO SEE THE EVIL OF THEIR WAYS AND CORRECT IT. (JONAH 3:1-5, 10)

SECOND READING: PAUL ADVISES THE CORINTHIANS THAT THEIR

WORLD IS CHANGING, SO THEY SHOULD NOT TAKE THEIR DAILY TRIALS

TOO SERIOUSLY. WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THE PROBLEMS OF

EVERYDAY LIVING WILL NOT LAST FOREVER, BUT THE ETERNAL LIFE

GOD PROMISES US WILL. (1 CORINTHIANS 7: 29-31)

(GOSPEL: JESUS OBSERVES SIMON AND ANDREW WHERE THEY ARE

FISHING AND TELLS THEM TO COME WITH HIM AND BECOME “FISHERS

OF MEN.” THEY ABANDON THEIR NETS WITHOUT HESITATION TO

FOLLOW HIM. NEXT HE CALLS JAMES AND HIS BROTHER JOHN, WHO

ALSO LEAVE WHAT THEY ARE DOING AND FOLLOW HIM WITHOUT

QUESTION. ( MARK 1: 14-20)

STEWARDSHIP by the BOOK-January 14, 2018 In today’s first reading, we hear Samuel respond eagerly, “Here I am!” each time the Lord calls him. May we, too, be listening for the call of God in our lives and be ready to say like the Psalmist, “Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.”

MASS CARDS We are asked to pray for the dead. The best

way to do this is to have a mass celebrated in memory of a loved one. Call the rectory 973-663-021l. Please note- offering is $15.

NEW TO THE PARISH Welcome! Please call (973) 663-0211 & register to become a member of our active parish.

THANK YOU – It has been almost 20 years since my family and

I moved to Mt. Arlington and joined the community of Our Lady Star of the Sea Church. On May 5, 2017 I celebrated 10 years as a deacon and serving this wonderful community. Your kindness and support in all these years has made my ministry enjoyable. I have been blessed to serve a community that is so devoted to their faith and to their Church. Your help in different ministries week after week makes our Sunday Liturgy come alive. Thank you for all you do for the church and for always remembering me year after year at Christmas time. A special thank you to Fr. Chris, for all his support and encouragement in my ministry during these past 10 years. I am honored to serve everyone in the capacity as Deacon and I wish a very Happy New Year to you and your families. I pray that God continues to bless each and every one of you throughout the year. Deacon Alberto

THANK YOU-- Father Chris Muldoon, Mrs. Jaye Hedrick, and our staff - Susan Lavin, Patricia Connolly, and John O’Connor, wish to thank everyone who sent cards and gifts to us over the Christmas Season.

IN REMEMBRANCE

The faculty of memory is truly powerful. It enables us to recall incidents in our lives that occurred many years ago. We remember family members who have died and who have returned home to the Lord. We remember them through the photographs we carry, the letters we have saved and through gifts they gave us. Their presence to us remains strong and vibrant. We remember them in other tangible ways. This Christmas many people have donated a poinsettia on our altar in memory of a loved one. The following people were remembered in our sanctuary this Christmas:
